Celtel, founded by Sudanese Mohamed Ibrahim has grown to become one of Africa’s biggest mobile phone players. With the launching of their “One Network” in September, they have created the world’s first borderless mobile phone network - that allows customers to move freely across geographic borders without roaming call surcharges and without having to pay to receive incoming calls.

Safaricom feeling the heat, has also just announced its plans to go regional. I have a feeling we’re about to see a lot of interesting things happening in the very near future. Can anyone say ka-ching-ching!
